This. Even if your IRs are a little long, if you're not getting blisters or anything from your feet sliding around, then it's really not a problem. That's just how the boots fit on you, and quite honestly a little too much room is better than too little. You can wear thicker socks or try insoles with those if you're convinced they're much too long.Measurements are just measurements, and we're talking about a few millimeters between sizes here.

He's talking about this:http://modernsurvivalblog.com/preps/5-steps-to-buy-boots-that-fit/Supposedly, you shove your foot into all the way forward into the (unlaced) boot, then check for clearance behind your heel. It's not a very reliable method to test boot fit, it just gets you in the right ballpark as far as length.Honestly dude, lace up your boots normally. Walk around the house.

Nearly ALL commercial detergents (including Woolite, apparently) have a blue dye in them. If you pour your liquid detergent and it's blue, it has blue dye.

Hi all, I could use some feedback on the the issue pictured below. These are Indy boots that I had re-soled with J. Rendenbach soles about a year ago. The shop that did the work has done good work for me in the past on several other pairs.
On this pair, I noticed the stitching sorta "running off the edge" and generally looking a little sloppy near the heel as pictured below. Is this normal for a re-sole on a 3/4 welt?
I didn't think too much of it at the time of...
